Green manure (cover crops) — plants sown to improve soil health. After growing, they are plowed into the soil as a natural "green" fertilizer.
Fungicides — plant protection products used to combat fungal diseases.
Insecticides — chemicals used to control insect pests.
Desiccation — artificial drying of plants before harvest (e.g., soybeans or rapeseed) using special preparations.
